You woke up the next morning feeling slightly dizzy and disoriented. Your limbs were heavy, your mouth dry, and the moment you peeled your heavy eyes open, the dull ache they subtly carried was an immediate reminder of the tearful rollercoaster you were flung on the day before.
A wave of exhaustion hit you hurriedly as if your slumber had simply pressed pause on your fatigue. And as you slowly blinked, your eyes fought to adjust to the faint morning light that filtered through the curtains.
Instinctively, you turned your groggy eyes to the spot beside you, subconsciously hoping that maybe — just maybe — Seokjin was still there.
But the space next to you was empty.
It was almost as if his presence was never there to begin with.
Almost as if you had imagined the entire encounter with him.
Instead, all you saw were the completely smooth and untouched bedsheets, and that was it. You couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.
The only thing that assured you that the man had really been there the night before was the yellow blanket that was sprawled over your body. You stared at it for a moment. The blanket.
You really only ever used it during the nights in winter, or when you took day naps on the couch. In a way, you kind of had rules about it. Silly ones.
And, of course, Jin would always tease you about it.
He found the whole thing ridiculous and would toss the blanket over you in the dead of summer just to spite you. Or, sometimes, he'd simply just tuck you in with it when you fell asleep before him, or when you passed out while studying, mumbling something along the lines of rules being made to be broken.
